"row'ros (row pronounced like now in English)"



I sorta concur, very easy to pronounce if you are Finnish lol - basically just say it as it is written

The Deafheaven thing? This is only 50% metal - that was my only comparison. A lot of this is hard rock as a genre I'd say - not shoegaze/blackgays or whatever.



Only this seems like 'soft section = no vocals' to more of a strict degree.

For a metal album this is very delicate and soft - but actually in a good way.



This is one of the lest heavy 'heavy albums' I've ever tried but it actually works.



Dare I say this is quite pretty and the lead guitar licks are sort of rock'y n' occasionally proggy



The drums are so polite and low in the mix - but again in a quite appealing way, I'm calling this 'passive/aggressive dream metal'



I'm actually not taking the piss too much, this will probably end up a 3.5-4 from me

This is the album they've been working towards their whole career, they are firing on all cylinders with this one.

I've always pronounced it roar ros as well, and will continue to, but if you look it up in the Encyclopedia of Arda (Tolkien wiki) it has a pronunciation guide:

@doof- I pretty much agree with all of that. The leads are definitely rock'y 'n proggy.... i get heavy later era Maiden vibes from them a lot of the time.

I'll go 3.5 for now but I'll revisit later in the week



I don't want to give it a 4 because I 4'd a 2019 metal album I preferred a bit just last week, the Esoctrilihum which was something else (one weakness - 20 minutes too long, 75 minutes was unnecessary)



I'm thinking this might be my second favourite metal release of the year so far

3.5 v respectable for someone who (to my knowledge at least) isn't the biggest metal fan

nearly 800 metal ratings on RYM and climbing...



I did start my musical journey with metal but by the end of the 90s I'll admit I had moved away from it barring the sort of mainstream 'big metal releases of the year' - ISIS, Neurosis, Mastodon, etc



Slowly got back into metal over the 10s, probably thanks to Blut Aus Nord who I got a bit obsessed with for a while after trying a couple of their albums.



This year I'm listening to everything in the sput 2019 top 100 - so a lot of additional metal in my diet.
